Blogging Vista-Style

Creating skins for forums and blogs is neither fast nor easy. While requiring HTML and CSS coding experience, the task also demands artistic skills and a good deal of taste. A lot of novice and experienced designers get stuck using the same graphics for common navigation elements over and over. While CSS and HTML can be coded at the same time, drawing attractive graphics demands a different approach and a different set of skills.

Navigation, text editing and other graphics consist of several dozen small images. Each icon has to be drawn in the same style, while all images must share common gamma and colors to create a consistent look throughout the Web site. If the skin being designed is a Vista-style one, you're facing a challenge of employing a quite specific set of drawing techniques. If you don't have the time or skills to make icons yourself, hiring a designer or outsourcing may be a costly yet necessary alternative.
